Have you heard of Cape Breton's Celtic Colours International Festival? Here is an overview and a link for you:

"Celtic Colours is a unique Cape Breton Island-wide celebration of Celtic culture - the largest of its kind in North America. The award-winning Celtic Colours International Festival (October 10-18, 2008) will celebrate its twelfth anniversary with a line-up featuring the finest Celtic music. Artists from throughout the world will join many of Cape Bretonís finest singers, players, dancers and tradition bearers in a celebration of North Americaís only living Celtic culture. For nine days in October, Cape Breton Island is home to a unique celebration of music and culture as the Celtic Colours International Festival presents over 40 concerts in communities all over Cape Breton Island; 200 Education and Community events; a Visual Art series of exhibitions and workshops; and a nightly Festival Club."

Also, there is a wonderful restaurant right next to the Seal Island Bridge called The Cedar House Bakery and Restaurant that offers delicious regional food. Tip: Be sure to try the homemade chocolate cake with boiled icing ... yum!
